In conjunction with Livingston County Tourism, Beth Lee of Freida Mae Chocolates has unveiled the new Livingston Signature Truffle. The truffle is made with peanut butter from Once Again Nut Butter in Nunda and jelly from Turkeys on the Hill Farm in Conesus. It is all rolled together and dipped in wonderful dark chocolate in Dansville making it a true Livingston County treat.

This festival is a great example of how community members worked together to produce and promote an event highlighting the food, wine, music and the arts of the area surrounding the four western Finger Lakes, self titled the “Little Finger Lakes District”. Finger Lakes food producers offered tastes of their products and a Gala dinner prepared by area chefs featured food produced within the Little Lakes area.

The early hot spring weather over the past two weeks has put the summer fruit tress into full bloom. Our orchards that contain apricots, plums, cherries, peaches can be seen from the roadside while driving by; full of white and green flowers telling us that the summer fruit season is fully under way. Also coming along are our newly expanded fields of Strawberries, Rhubarb, Blueberries as well as many other berries. Looking ahead to the next months we hope to anticipate a wonderful crop of these summer fruits that can be found locally in grocery stores, farm markets, restaurants and down in the New York City Green Markets as well as many of the fine gourmet shops! All of us here at the orchard are excited for the season to begin, kicking off with local varieties of strawberries in early June! Also ahead in the next months look for Red Jacket Orchards signature summer juice line to be on the shelves. These include our unique flavors of Rhubarb/Apple, Lemon/Apple otherwise known as JOE'S SUMMER BLEND, our Tart Cherry Stomp Nectar and last but not least our Strawberry/Apple will return with fresh berries from our fields. Please ENJOY!
